Barbless streamer hook for Woolly Bugger, leech patterns and small to medium streamers
Hends BL704 is a barbless streamer hook with a longer shank, finer wire and a distinctive eagle claw style point. It is a highly versatile pattern for fly tyers looking for a reliable barbless hook for Woolly Bugger, leech patterns and classic small to medium streamers.
The extended shank gives you enough space to work with marabou, chenille, dubbing, palmer hackles and lighter zonker or baitfish materials. In practice, this hook is an excellent choice for Woolly Buggers, leech flies, smaller baitfish streamers and general-purpose trout streamers, especially when you want a balanced, lively pattern rather than an overly heavy build.
One of the key strengths of the BL704 is its finer wire, which helps maintain better movement in the water while still offering very good penetration on the strike. This makes it a strong option for effective, mobile streamer patterns where natural action matters. Combined with the barbless design, it also fits perfectly into modern catch-and-release fly fishing.
The Black Nickel finish gives the hook a clean, technical look and works beautifully with a wide range of streamer styles – from dark leech patterns to natural baitfish imitations. The chemically sharpened, slightly incurved point provides dependable hooking performance.
If you are looking for a lighter and more versatile streamer hook, BL704 is an excellent choice. If you plan to tie heavier, bulkier or more demanding streamer patterns, or expect harder use, it is also worth considering the Hends BL724 as the stronger alternative within a similar concept.
